[Ben Eater] posted some videos of an 8-bit computer with no CPU chip that he built completely on a breadboard a few years ago. After being asked for schematics, he finally admitted that he didn&#82… ...

Kyle Hovey has decided to build his own 8-bit CPU from scratch, out of breadboard, NVRAM chips, surface-mount transistors, and lots and lots of wire -- and he's blogged his experience, so you can ...

Arduino, the open-source rapid electronic prototyping project, announced a pair of new products at the Maker Faire San Mateo this weekend - including its answer to the popular Raspberry Pi single ...

The Arduino can only clock the 8-bit CPU at 95kHz in software which may sound a bit low to those familiar with 1980s home computers, but it’s best to think of this as an experimentation platform ...

The long-awaited Arduino Due just hit the market, replacing the 8-bit, 16 MHz brain of the popular Uno microcontroller prototyping platform with a 32-bit, 84 MHz processor, while augmenting inputs ...

The current 'standard' board is the Arduino Duemilanove - Italian for 2009 - and it's a pretty smart piece of kit: at its heart is an ATmega microcontroller IC.

But open-source just answered back. Arduino now adds the Arduino Due. The Due is 32-bit, boasts the 80MHz speeds of the Chipkit and adds even more functionality to Arduino, such as digital to analog ...
